Describe the bug The shortcut to exit Tutanota (Ctrl+Q) doesn't work at all.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open Tutanota desktop application
  2. Press Crtl + Q to close
  3. Nothing happens

Expected behavior After pressing Crtl + Q the application should close.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 8.1
  • Version 3.85.10

Ctrl+Q is not a standard shortcut on Windows. In Microsoft Outlook, pressing Ctrl+Q marks the selected e-mail(s) as read. In Microsoft Word, Ctrl+Q removes all formatting from a highlighted paragraph.

We could add it though.

I cannot see how the listed shortcut is useful if one can already press Alt + F4 to close the app. I think we should close this as wontfix.

@charlag in the tray if you right click Tutanota it shows "Exit - Ctrl + Q" is not my own invention or suggestion. It just doesn't work.

@vaf-hub Alt + F4 would just close the window, not Tutanota completely.

I see this in windows now. It seems we have registered CmdOrCtrl+Q as the accelerator hint for this menu item, without registering it with globalShortcut. We should either remove this hint or register the keybinding

I second this issue. In fact, on Linux there seems to be no way to exit Tutanota gracefully. No key shortcut or a menu item to shutdown the client. And killing the X window leaves Tutanota in the background, needs to be killed (and hard - with -9) from the terminal. A proper X app should at least handle WM_DELETE. And provide a decent way to exit.

@ngrigoriev if you don't have a "run in background" enabled then closing the window will close the app

@charlag Indeed, thanks, I did not know that. Disabled, now all processes terminate when I kill the window in i3 with Meta+Shift+Q.
